Cutloose welcome Gerry Rooney into town to supply the soundtrack for April’s party. A serious audiophile with great taste, Gerry has delivered deep disco obscurities and acid house basslines at a spectrum of revered parties across the globe, including Yellow in Tokyo, Full Pupp in Norway and APT, NYC.

Inspired by the acid house cultural revolution, Liverpool born Rooney began DJing in the late 80s. His erudite attitude to music has seen him travel across continents in search of the black gold. As well as developing his own enviable and diverse collection, his pursuit of audio treasure has led to a reputation as a respected record dealer amongst serious buyers. Together with long-standing partner in crime Harvey, Rooney established the pioneering and inimitable disco re-edit label Black Cock records in 1992 “as an amusing twist alternative to what was happening at the time”. More recently, he has launched a brand new label, Lucky Hole with Quiet Village’s Joel Martin and collaborated with Cutloose party pal, Felix Dickinson on the Milky Mouth Orchestra. A DJ of this pedigree ensures some serious revelry is inevitable at Cutloose’s upcoming basement bash!

Cutloose kick off 2010 with a bang, welcoming Theo Parrish to sculpt the sounds in his distinct maverick style for our opening party of the year. Cutloose fervently advocate Theo’s neat articulation of his core musical philosophy -

Love of the music should be the driving force of any producer, performer or DJ.

Interspersing the disco-based pulse of Chicago house, the automotive electronica of Detroit techno, with more than a nod to the soul and jazz of an esteemed lineage in black music that runs directly from Sun Ra to Sound Signature, Theo’s sets compel a rhythmic assault on your musical consciousness for which the Roadhouse basement will be the perfect setting. Theo’s non-conformist values and passion, entrenched in his own productions and label, will ensure that this will be one incredible Cutloose party. A word of warning – the last time Theo played Cutloose, tickets sold out weeks in advance – don’t sleep on this!

Cutloose is delighted to welcome back the esteemed Mark E to set the tone for the festive celebrations at our Christmas Party. Mark, who ripped it up at our April party, made a storming introduction in 2005 with his acclaimed re-work of Womack & Womack’s “Baby I’m Scared of You” (Jiscomusic), followed up by further productions on Jisco, Gerd Janson’s label, Running Back and Sonar Kollectiv, amongst others. His rightly burgeoning profile has ensured Mark is a busy boy – as well as taking the reins at his own night, Dropout Boogie in Birmingham and more DJ appearances in the UK and Europe, he has issued recent releases on his new label, MERC and for Under the Shade and Endless Flight.

After a cracker of a Birthday party we’re already getting set for our October soiree down at the Roadhouse. This month we welcome Brooklyn’s finest in the guise of Brennan Green.

DJ and producer Brennan Green is associated with a number of current trends in dance music – house, disco, nu-disco, leftfield, cosmic, post punk, electrofunk etc.– but no fashion or sub-sub-genre adequately describes Green’s trademark sound.

His productions on independent dance labels such as Modal, Daniel Wang’s Balihu and his own label, Chinatown, have an organic feel that is rare in modern dance music. Green’s vinyl-only releases combine both acoustic and electronic instrumentation to unearth irresistible grooves, atypical rhythms and hypnotic basslines. As a remixer Brennan has also found a voice all his own with popular remixes for Liquid Liquid, Lindstrom and DFA.

Brennan’s genre-bending DJ-sets are sure to rock any dancefloor taking a crowd through sounds that span disco, house, techno, dub and rock. His New York parties Pop Your Funk (Along side Roy Dank of Wurst Music Co. APT, 01-04) and Junky Blues (Flamingo, 99-01) were instrumental in pioneering the current underground disco sound and since then he has toured extensively through Japan, Australia, Europe, North/South America playing at events as diverse as NewYork’s P.S.1, London’s Fabric, Tokyo’s Yellow, Sydney’s Madracket and many of the world’s best underground parties. He’s Currently holding down monthly residencies at NYC’s east village outpost Nublu and Chinatown’s aptly named BEast.

Forthcoming are several releases on Chinatown including a collaboration with Arthur Russell.

We come together with our favourite super information highway music blog Cosmic Disco for another ‘Thank-You’ to all those who have shown us ever growing support over the last 6 months with another FREE PARTY!

After our now legendary joint party with Cosmic Disco featuring Mark Seven back in December 2008, we’ve decided to a bring a DJ who we feel has the minerals to live up to the occasion.

Felix Dickinson has been DJing and producing music for over 17 years, though because of his many monikers people often believe they’re not familiar with his sound. Yet upon closer inspection, most discerning DJs, realise they’ve got at least one of his tracks in their box.

At 20, Felix organized a four-day free festival in Sussex. Collaborating with the D.I.Y. sound system from Nottingham, and calling on DJs from the Tonka crew. The Police roadblocks and helicopters couldn’t stop the party, as it was pre-Criminal Justice Act, and 4,000 people danced all weekend.

In 1992 Felix moved to Brighton where he got together with a number of close friends to form the monthly Slack nights, which although being held on Monday nights would regularly attract party goers from up and down the country, and would always be followed by an after party down on the beach or some local warehouse.

When Slack finally split it allowed Felix to change direction, and to set up the Ugly Music record label with friend and local record shop owner Tony Lee. The label released music from K-Alexi, Underground Evolution, D.J. Harvey and Jaime Read, among others. It was at this time that Felix began his D.J. residency at the Joint nightclub with Jaime Read (L.H.A.S) and Bobby Coulman (Soft Rocks) where he played every month from ’95 to 2000.

Since his move to London from the South Coast in 2000, Felix has been producing records under a string of aliases including LHAS Inc., Foolish and Sly, Das Etwas, The Mythical Beasts and Dedication.

Most recently he’s been remixing for Jazzy Sport, Far Out and D.J. History; and his new project Fist Club and the Milky Mouth Orchestra with Gerry Rooney (Black Cock) will be due for release in 2009.

His DJing has taken him as far as America, Japan, Australia, Sweden, Greece, Poland, Austria, France, Finland and Hawaii as well as playing at Glastonbury with the New York Downlow.

See you down the front!

Let’s be honest most of today’s club music protagonists are as exciting as dead meat. Or if you wish to choose more friendly words, we agree that they are servants of an alternative entertainment industry. Frank Timm a.k.a. Soundhack alias Soundstream is the great exception to this rule. This boy serves cuisine instead of fast food. But before he reached that state, the true-school Berliner had to graduate from the city’s club boot camp. Awestruck by Berlin’s basements and industrial places, where techno was in its early-nineties prime, Soundstream was overwhelmed by Detroit’s beauty and Chicago’s roughness. Unsurprising, he soon agitated in the coordinate system of the world-renowned record store Hard Wax. An institution that also distributes his labels Soundstream and Soundhack. The first one takes care of Timm’s never-ending love for disco and refined house music (take the ear candy of ‘Love Jam’ for example), the latter is dedicated to cut-up and loop adventures that are better described with folly than the customary house and techno signs. Therefore the scalpel is one of his typical tools of the trade. He chops, dismembers, deconstructs and mills – until he drops. However, he never creates Frankenstein’s monster and does not fall for the risks of this mode of operation: Sophistication and consciousness, safe from harm and also from being nerdy. “DJ tools with an attitude”, as Dr. Dre would say.

The same goes for his ‘band’ Smith’n'Hack. Together with his peer and friend Errorsmith, Mr. Soundhack creates amazing long players like ‘Tribute’ that takes a bow in front of disco’s vast history or incredible remixes. Just listen what they did to Ricardo Villalobos’ ‘Easy Lee’ or Herbert’s ‘Moving Like A Train’. Stripes of italo disco in the one case and a future classic paint of gold in the other. On his own, Timm’s revisions for Anthony ‘Shake’ Shakir, the Olympian Rhythm & Sound duo or Auto Repeat might be the most remarkable ones.

His appearances as a live act or DJ are also outstanding. A look into his box reveals lovely disco 12-inches, Chicago house, solid club classics and dew-fresh jams. All blended, mixed and sliced together with style.

Soundstream makes his Manchester debut at Cutloose in February 2009. This will be our first party at our new home The Roadhouse. See you there.

The brainchild of veteran producers Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani, Metro Area was born out of the pair’s somewhat dichotomous love for both the old moods of R&B, disco and boogie and the more cutting-edge sound of innovative house and techno. Metro Area brings back the soulful experimentation of the early club classics – mixing live and electronic instruments. Simultaneously, the mood and minimalism of more recent dance music forms creep into the mix: Detroit’s cold futurism, Chicago’s abstract track-modes, and the warmth of New York and New Jersey’s deep house.

After over a year of late-night sessions in New Jersey and Manhattan – Metro Area burst onto the scene in 1999 with their self-titled debut 12″ featuring the cult smash “Atmosphrique.” With an angular bassline underpinned by a grungy 4/4 disco beat and the most distinctive claps this side of 1977, “Atmosphrique” sounds futuristic and retro at the same time, and spawned myriad heated debates concerning the record’s production date. Then came the simply amazing ‘Caught Up’ which left both DJs and dancers wanting more.

Currently staying busy with continued touring, solo remixes from Morgan and Darshan, new studios in Brooklyn, solo and side projects and the imminent release of a new Metro Area album and their new Fabric mix CD the music world can rest assured that Metro Area will continue to rock theories of time and space at Spektrum.

Beppe Loda

Beppe Loda is a music seeker, an eclectic music selector and a rare and obscure record collector. He’s a founder of the afro music movement as well as the forerunner of obscure disco, slow motion disco, Italosynth incorporating the industrial sound as well.

When he’s not DJing Beppe is a brilliant producer, a respected consultant and a refined record studio sound engineer. Beppe has remixed over 60 tracks of other artists and produced over 200 different dj sets with every kind of music.

Beppe often says “What pushes a true DJ to sacrificate himself while all the others enjoy the party?

It’s simple. The love of music. Welcome Beppe Loda.

Loud-E

Rard Laudy aka Loud-e began DJing in his late teens and was born in the Southern part of Holland near The Hague. He first started out playing acid and electro but true to form and very much in keeping with his chameleon like vibe he was always looking for something more along the funky and psychedelic sound – now you’re talking my language!

This subtle change in direction was brought about because he was sick of DJ’s in the same line up as him bringing the same records to the party. So he decided just to play the playable stuff he found at flea-markets, dusty secondhand stores and in the 1 euroboxes at bog fairs – sound!

Loud-e can be heard playing alongside Alexander Robotnick, Marco, Tako, Dave Clark, Suburban Night amongst others and has had recent releases of his own productions on Ambassadors Reception and Objects of Desire. Despite his unhealthy obsession with Dirk Kuyt we welcome him back to our Mancunian bosom for what is surely going to be a tip top night.
